The Twin Fortunes and Other Stories

The thirteen stories in this collection concern people from a wide variety of backgrounds. As they struggle with the problems they meet––physical, emotional, or spiritual––they become conscious of past failures and missing necessities for their futures. While they have various degrees of success or failure, it’s the awareness of the reasons for one’s fate that emerges as the central value. This knowledge of limitations, sometimes bolstered by compassion or will, empowers some of the characters but remains elusive for others.
